Up until a mere few years ago the entire Makita tools warranty registration database was coming up in Google searches. All you had to do was take whatever person's info you got in your search result and incriment the number in the url to go through the whole database person by person. I emailed their support many times and they did nothing - eventually found a legal email and then the same thing happened like you had - fixed in a day, never even got a thank you (or a truck of free tools delivered 😂). I was surprised to see such a poorly designed system in the year it was.

Just got a HPWH too - I joked that we should put it in the bathroom and then it basically just recycles my heat in the room for infinite free shower hot water!

Not sure you'd want to be constantly writing to the internal storage of these on every drive like a dashcam - it can be hard on memory to be constantly written like that (hence often using high endurance SD cards in dashcams and having the ability to replace those when they kick the bucket with wear). Plus, a good dashcam would have front and back facing cameras and these would only see what you do.

That being said - I know some people who use the Gen 1 glasses to record things like racing cars and flying airplanes and the footage is bloody awesome from the driver perspective like that. I'd love to see the Gen 2 somehow safely incorporate a HUD for example.

IP banning in this day and age is crazy. Years ago I opened my app on hospital WiFi and instantly both of my accounts in there were banned for "ban evasion". Clearly someone used that IP address to get banned and now everyone using the public WiFi there is just getting banned.

It also made it clear that a big part of shutting down third party clients was so they could track us better. Made evident the minute my personal and work reddit accounts were banned together even though I never switched to the other login at all. With that move they could tie everyone's throwaways back to their real accounts.

A lot more than America becomes fucked when tiktok becomes owned by these guys. It'll become their global platform to radicalize youth Nazis from one corner of the globe to another. Time to hope the youth outside America are smart enough to see thorough this, but if our recent Canadian election was any indication then they are not.

Anything of this nature announced over the next little while has like a 70% chance of being related to the huge Salesloft/Drift hack. The wording here makes me wonder if it's also the cause for plex.

Literally zero issues with modern EVs and winters. I know someone who has two and both him and his wife commute a great distance every day of the year in them, for many years now. Sounds like you've believed some random Facebook anti-ev propaganda without fact checking it?

Haven't had a need to open one the entire time I've been on the OS! Other than for my own development needs, but that's my own use case and nothing to do with operating the OS as a user.

Having switched many relatives to Linux recently too, Mint will be your best jumping off point for a familiar feel and pain free experience as someone new to Linux. If you love that and find yourself wanting more, then the world is your oyster! I started on Mint and ultimately settled on Fedora Plasma after trying out a half dozen different options.

His plan to cut funding? You mean the plan to put $150mil into CBC?

Kids will be out there studying for their ham radio licenses to setup wireless long range packet networks and bbs's just to exchange porn lol
